    Hi! I have the Lap Band (since July 2005) and just found out about Total Vertical Sleeve Plication. I would like to know what this is exactly? How much does it cost? How does it compare to the band? Anyone do the switch to this from the band? Do you get stuck on foods? I lost about 30pounds with my band, and gained it back I have had several adjustments but I cant get this weight off without being stuck all the time on food. Emotionally, it was has been draining, to say the least! I was looking at other surgery options but they made me nervous, this sounds like a better idea since it is reversible. Thank you!
